Joaquin Buckleys jump spinning back kick interruption win against Impa Kasanganay might not just be the knockout of the year, but the biggest KO of all-time.
The 26-year-old American combated Kasanganay in one of 13 matches during the ongoing UFC “Fight Island” festival at the Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on Saturday, October 10.
Kasanganay appeared to have control midway through the 2nd round of the middleweight bout as he caught one of Buckleys kicks and had his opponents foot in the palm of his hand.
Showing exceptional resourcefulness, Buckley transitioned into a jump spinning back kick.
Joaquin Buckley produced the most “incredible knockout in UFC history” throughout the Fight Island celebration in Abu Dhabi.
Buckley battled a middleweight match against Impa Kasanganay at the behind-closed-doors Flash Forum on Yas Island, Saturday.
Midway through the second round, Kasanganay appeared in control as he caught a Buckley kick and had his challengers foot in the palm of his hand.
Then Buckley did something which has to be seen to be thought. And you can see it right here.
The maneuver took Kasanganay by surprise and he likely may not have actually even known what had actually happened till he had actually awakened later, as the strike left him concussed and beat on the flooring.
Those enjoying Octagonside, at the behind-closed-doors and sanitized place, were visibly in shock, watching on open-mouthed and with their arms in the air.

” I seen that he still had my legs, I was still able to balance with him grabbing my foot, so I just kicked and spun,” Buckley stated after the win,
” I intended and I fire and it got the result we needed. I know I landed flush, I didnt understand if I knocked him out though till he locked up and I stated it was video game over.
” I train all of it the time, the only thing that was different was him holding my leg, however I practice it all the time.”
The surface was so incredible, Buckley was awarded with a $50,000 performance-related bonus offer check.
